I've never had so much fun as this in my entire life! This vacation is simply splendid and extraordinary!

I know that big part of it is because of my companions. And of course my boyfriend who made this vacation possible. Kung hindi dahil sa kanya, I don't think I'll ever experience this. I am a sociable person but I'm not that outgoing. Marami rin akong issues sa sarili ko na minsan ay hindi ko maintindihan. Kung kaya't hindi ako nakakapag-unwind ng ganito.

I don't think there's someone else who can understand me better than Apollo. Siya ang nag-aayos ng mga gamit ko sa unit, since he doesn't like mess, siya rin ang nagpapa-alala ng mga bagay na minsan ay nakaka-limutan ko. And he understand my moods. I guess he also made a way to reconcile me with my family.

"Never thought there are so many wonderful beaches here in the Philippines."

"How would you know? You're too busy strolling in bikini in those beaches outside the country." Priam smirked at our cousin Soffia.

Inirapan lang siya ng huli. "Am I talking to you, jerk?" Her brows are as usual, raised.

"Well, it's really more fun in the Philippines." Komento naman ni Simone.

Kanina pa 'yan nagpapapansin kay Soffia but got nothing. I guess Soffia finally realized my cousin's dirty skills. She doesn't want anything to do with it.

We were riding the 42M Steel yacht, owned by my boyfriend. Hindi lang ako nalula, sobrang na-shock pa nang malaman ko ang tungkol sa yate niya! Buti nga hindi ako nahimatay eh.

I'm glad the weather didn't disappoint us. It's such a clear day, the waves are tamed and the sky is in its blue grandeur. The sun is up and shining its glory.

I love the feel of the heat of the sun kissing my face as well as the sea breeze as it reaches my skin. It makes me feel calm.

At nakakadagdag pa sa ganda ng panahon ay ang tuluyang pagsilay ko sa dashboard abs ni Apollo! My gosh! His hotness is to die for! Finally my dreams has been answered! Sobrang nakakagigil ang kagwapuhan at kakisigan niya. Pero behave muna ako kasi marami kaming kasama.

Kakagaling lang namin sa Siquijor. First, we went to Romblon because it's the nearest. We have a local as our tour guide. Romblon have fine and white sands, too. Maganda rin doong magtampisaw.

Siquijor is said to be a bewitched island. Well, it really is bewitching with its pristine blue waters and beautiful beaches. We only tour the island. We were about to trek to see some of their famous falls but my companions never stopped complaining. Ano pa nga ba ang aasahan ko? Some of them are whiny brats and some are idiots. Kaya namasyal na lamang kami at namili ng mga local products.

I guess I'll be coming back here to discover more of the island.

Sinubukan naman ng mga lalaki ang ilang diving spots ng isla and I guess they enjoyed it.

Halos isang buong maghapon kaming namasyal and I can't help but grow tired. Pero ang sabi nila ay may pa-bonfire pa raw sa resort kaya baka hindi pa muna ako makapag-papahinga.

Nang dumungka ang yate sa baybayin ay agad akong napangiti. Inalalayan ako ni Apollo sa pagbaba maging ang kanyang kapatid.

I walked barefooted feeling the fine sand and the sea water. It tickles but it made me feel warm. Nakapaa lang ako. Ang iba gaya ni Artemis, Soffia, Venice, Lily at Tanya ay naka-flip flops.

"Oh my gosh, I'm so excited!" Soffia suddenly exclaimed.

Halata ang saya niya sa mukha. I stared at her confused. Sumobra naman yata ang pagka-excite niyang makarating dito? Does she want to rest? Kahit na si Lily at Tanya maging si Artemis ay mukhang hindi mapakali. What's going on?
